The Talaang Ginto[1] (Filipino, "Golden List"), also known as Talaang Ginto: Gawad Surian sa Tula Gantimpalang Tamayo ("Golden List: Institute Award-Tamayo Prize"), is a sought-after annual literary award in Philippine poetry. The Talaang Ginto is perhaps the longest-running state-run literary contest, began in 1963 by the then Surian ng Wikang Pambansa (Institute of National Language). The Surian was later replaced by the Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino[2] in 1991. The Commission organizes the contest at present.
For 25 years, since 1984, the contest was supported by the Jorge Collantes Foundation, which gave the award its other name, Gantimpalang Collantes or Collantes Prize.[3] In 2009, the Tamayo Foundation took over and the award was renamed Gantimpalang Tamayo or Tamayo Prize.
The Talaang Ginto annually gives six awards for poetry in Filipino; three major prizes and three honorable mentions. The recipient of the first prize is automatically proclaimed Makata ng Taon or "Poet of the Year", and delivers a valedictory response during the awarding ceremonies.
The Talaang Ginto is held every April 2nd, in celebration of the birth of the Philippines' foremost poet, Francisco Balagtas.
